“Jesus was just a badass. He was a rule breaker. A system-bucking ball buster. He boldly pushed back against social norms and the religious order of the day to engage in his God-given duty to heal the sick, feed the poor, call out injustice, and pave the way for everyone to know the saving grace of faith, hope, and love. The world called him weird and the club called him dangerous. They spit on him, they threw things at him, they drove him away, and hell, eventually they killed him. But Jesus was such a motherfucking badass, he just kept loving.”
― Jamie Wright, The Very Worst Missionary: A Memoir or Whatever

“to this day we use it as a litmus test for our mental health and spiritual well-being: Are we connected to others? Is our home a place of respite? Does our work matter?”

“Jesse explained as he placed the bowl in front of her that it wasn't really the cave that was cursed; it was something in the cave.
"And it kills Dittleys." Blue said, "and does terrible things to my friend."
"YOU'RE DEAD FRIEND," Jesse noted, sitting down opposite her at the tiny drop-leaf table. The mirror lay between them, face down.
"That's not his fault. Why didn't you say you could see him?"
"I DIDN'T SAY I COULD SEE YOU, EITHER."
"But I'm not dead," Blue pointed out.
"BUT YOU ARE PRETTY SHORT.”
